Emerging Network To Reduce Orwellian Potency Yield

[Hugh Reilly]

Happy New Year everyone!!

ENTROPY is developed as a response to increasing censorship and surveillance 
in the internet. The program connects your computer to a network of machines 
which all run this software. The ENTROPY network is running parallel to the 
WWW and also other internet services like FTP, email, ICQ. etc.

For the user the ENTROPY network looks like a collection of WWW pages. The 
difference to the WWW however is that there are no accesses to central 
servers. And this is why there is no site operator who could log who 
downloaded what and when.
Every computer taking part in the ENTROPY network (every node) is at the 
same time server, router for other nodes, caching proxy and client for the 
user: that is You.

After you gained some experience with the ENTROPY network, there are command 
line tools for you to insert whole directory trees into the network as a 
ENTROPY site. So ENTROPY does for you what a webspace provider does for you 
in the WWW - but without the storage and bandwidth costs and without any 
regulation or policy as to what kind of content you are allowed to publish.

Everyone can contribute his own ENTROPY site for everybody else to browse 
through. The contents is stored in a distributed manner across all available 
and reachable nodes and no one can find out about who put up what contents 
into the network [1]. Even if your node is not actively running, your 
contents can be retrieved by others -- without knowing that it was actually 
you who published the files. Of course this is only true if you do not 
publish your name (or leave your name or other personal data in the files 
you publish)
